Chanteur Country US
né James Joseph Croce, le 10 Janvier 1943 à Philadelphie (Pennsylvanie). Il fit
ses études à l’université de Villanova (Pennsylvanie). Il forma plusieurs
groupes de collège, puis fit un duo avec sa femme, Ingrid, dans les années 1960.
Ils interprétaient en particulier des chansons de Joan Baez et de
Woody Guthrie,
ainsi que des compositions de Jim Croce qui devinrent des hits dans les années
1970. Jim composait et interprétait des chansons de rock, blues et de country.
Le succès tardant à venir, Jim devint chauffeur de camion tout en continuant de
jouer dans des bars.
Jim Croce signa un contrat de trois ans en 1970 avec ABC Records, et son premier
album sous ce label, You Don't Mess Around with Jim, fut un énorme succès
aux États-Unis. Les simples "You Don't Mess Around with Jim", "Operator (That's
Not The Way It Feels)" , "Time In A Bottle" et "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" eurent
beaucoup de succès et le dernier cité fut #1 en 1973 (2 millions de disques
vendus) de même que l’album You Don't Mess Around with Jim. Il était
accompagné par un autre guitariste, Maury Muehleisen.
Malheureusement Croce et Muehleisen connurent une fin tragique dans un accident
d’avion à Natchitoches (Louisiane), le 20 Septembre 1973, deux mois après
la sortie de son dernier album I Got a Name.
In the music industry, arguably the worst tragedy that can befall an artist is
to die in their prime, when he or she is just beginning to break through to the
mainstream and reach people on a national level. One such artist was Jim Croce,
a songwriter with a knack for both upbeat, catchy singles and empathetic,
melancholy ballads. Though Croce only recorded a few studio albums before an
untimely plane crash, he continues to be remembered posthumously. Croce appealed
to fans as a common man, and it was not a gimmick -- he was a father and husband
who went through a series of blue-collar jobs. And whether he used dry wit,
gentle emotions, or sorrow, Croce sang with a rare form of honesty and power.
Few artists have ever been able to pull off such down-to-earth storytelling as
convincingly as he was.
James Croce was born in Philadelphia, PA, on January 10, 1943. Raised onragtime
and country, Croce played the accordion as a child and would eventually teach
himself the guitar. It wasn't until his freshman year of college that he began
to take music seriously, forming several bands over the next few years. After
graduation, he continued to play various gigs at local bars and parties, working
as both a teacher and construction worker to support himself and his wife,
Ingrid. In 1969, the Croces and an old friend from college, Tommy West, moved to
New York and record an album. When the Jim and Ingrid record failed to sell,
they moved to a farm in Lyndell, PA, where Jim juggled several jobs, including
singing for radio commercials. Eventually he was noticed and signed by the
ABC/Dunhill label and released his second album, You Don't Mess Around with Jim,
in 1972. The record spawned three hits: "You Don't Mess Around With Jim,"
"Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels)," and "Time in a Bottle." The latter
would become Croce's breakthrough hit, shooting all the way to number one on the
Billboard charts. Croce quickly followed with Life and Times in early 1973 and
gained his first number one hit with "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown."
After four years of grueling tour schedules, Croce grew homesick. Wishing to
spend more time with Ingrid and his infant son Adrian James, he planned to take
a break after the Life and Times tour was completed. Unfortunately, the tour
would never finish; just two months after "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" topped the
charts, Croce's plane crashed in Natchitoches, LA. Croce and the four other
passengers (including band member Maury Muehleisen) were killed instantly.
Ironically, Jim Croce's career peaked after his death. In December of 1973, the
album I Got a Name surfaced, but it was "Time in a Bottle," from 1972's You
Don't Mess Around with Jim which would become his second number one single.
Shortly afterwards, "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" reached the Top Ten.
Several albums were released posthumously, most notably the greatest hits
collection, Photographs and Memories, which became a best-seller. Several other
compilations have since been issued, such as the 1992 release The 50th
Anniversary Collection and the 2000 compilation Time in a Bottle: The Definitive
Collection. Listening to the songs Croce recorded, one cannot help but wonder
how far his extraordinary talents could have taken him if he would have perhaps
lived a few years longer. Unfortunately, such a question may only be looked at
rhetorically, but Jim Croce continues to live on in the impressive catalog of
songs he left behind.
